Shrimp Preparation

Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a medium-sized bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.

  3. 3

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
